I lived in my college hoodie all last winter, emotionally eating my way to Spring. Summer was hard.
Summer of 2009. You can't hide it under a hoodie in July. (But I could at least brush my hair!)
I have 12 pics in my gallery

"Do what you always did and you'll get what you always got."...So dieting with a vengeance doesn't really work for me. I'm ready to find out what does.

My Goals:
I want to develop a healthy relationship with food and restore balance and well-being to my overall health.
This will mean: eating according to a food plan each day; being honest about my eating choices; drawing on the wisdom and experience of other healthy people; and taking responsibility for my own choices and health.
My Program:
I've started tracking my food intake and using the SP nutrition chart to plan my eating for the day; I do not have a regular exercise plan yet (well, on paper I do, but in reality, I don't).
Personal Information:
I'm the mother of three grown children, Anna, Kimberly, and Daniel, and the grandmother of one lovely 16 month old, Kora; I am a graduate student in a social work program; I have exceptional friends who "get" me.
Other Information:
I've been overweight since I was 9-years old. I've lost a lot of weight in my lifetime. I think I understand what's happened, so while there may be a few more tears shed over the lifetime burden of carrying around 50 extra pounds at any given time, I am more peaceful about who I am today. I'm beginning a new phase of my life: I've become a grandmother for the first time, I'm finishing my master's degree and entering a new career phase, and I'm going to be fifty in February. These are all important benchmarks to me and I want to enjoy them without the shroud that poor health and low-self esteem spreads over the beauty and movement that life inevitably brings.
